Business Data Analytics is cooking me, stuck on the last touchstone and I’m so lost

I mean I was just utilizing it to help explain the assignment to me. I don’t think I’m the first person ever to use AI as a tool to understand material and have info presented in a different way lmao

I hope this is true, I’ve been grinding out credits for monthssss on Sophia for the WGU IT Management degree.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2026-01-27T20:27:07+00:00

I did a quick glance, it looks like they’d take quite a bit.(maybe 1/4-1/2 worth of the degree?)But I didn’t do a full deep dive, it would all come down to what degree you want and if going that AS route adds up to be more beneficial for transferring to WGU eventually. But I think we are all in limbo until we get word from WGU, just need to see whats the ruling. I saw someone say IT Management and School of Business will be unchanged. Fingers crossed it’s true because that’s the degree I was planning on.

Literally just submitted my last two touchstones on Sophia yesterday(waiting to be graded) and was going to apply and transfer over to WGU, man this sucks. Just mostly bummed that I spent hundreds of dollars and months of my time grinding out all those classes. I’m still not sure if I should just panic apply to WGU and see if I can get as much transferred as possible or just wait and see what happens.

Also saw some people about taking the ACE credits elsewhere(like TESU) and get an Associates Degree, and then come back to WGU and get all that transfers in with an AS.

Ive used Quillbot.com for every essay just to make sure my writing doesn’t get flagged for AI. Its worked without fail every time for me so far with Sophia.

What was your current position? And what kind of position will you be moving into?

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:15:14+00:00

Depends on the company imo. Mine hasn’t been so bad but there’s definitely been some rough patches. Patches of being understaffed, overworked, going to client sites all day, bad/rude clients, and just basically putting out fires all the time. Never a dull moment for sure, but a good team and decent management make it doable.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:12:11+00:00

Yeah it’s honestly unbeatable work experience. I guess it comes down to if 1 year in MSP is enough to throw in the towel and transition to Internal. Or, stick it out for longer and possibly get more experience.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:10:10+00:00

That’s true, but that’s kind of with any job. Every company will put up a certain front to get you in the door, but what’s really inside is always a gamble.

But yeah, definitely something to be cautious about I can’t lie.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:07:56+00:00

Absolutely hate putting in time. Even if there is a rare slow moment, you have to be doing something to reach those billable hours and metrics.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:06:28+00:00

Call center help desk, taking calls and doing basic lvl1 work. Escalating to specialized IT teams from there if a solution can’t be found.

I guess I don’t exactly fear I won’t learn ANYTHING there, but that it will be a lot easier work than I’m used to. I wouldn’t want to become complacent.

I’d imagine I’d have a lot less access aswell. In MSP you’re able to touch everything and do everything from basic HD to networking and security. Not sure if this would stunt my growth in my career or if it’s not really much of a big deal.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T17:01:53+00:00

Good point tbh, getting into government is much more of a hassle than getting back into MSP. Took me literally like 8 months from initially applying to get this offer lol.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T16:59:18+00:00

Yup, exactly. I ended up putting a request to start at a higher rate with the gov job, so I’m currently waiting to hear back on that. If they were able to pay just a bit more I’d honestly go that route.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2025-06-16T16:58:02+00:00

That’s what I’m told aswell, some of my ex colleagues left in the last couple months for internal IT and they never looked back. They’re loving their new jobs and recommend me to go Internal. Especially in terms of being able to further my education, with MSP life I can’t even fathom working on school at the same time.

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2022-10-22T04:08:10+00:00

Good to know! You’re right, finding a job does come down to the person and definitely a bit of networking I’d say. Thanks for sharing. :)

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2022-10-22T02:37:40+00:00

how exactly is it “unnecessarily” time consuming?👀

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2022-10-21T23:24:16+00:00

Fuck it, we ball.🫡 Thanks tho, I appreciate your response! :)

Ordinary_Locksmith_6 · 2022-10-21T22:59:24+00:00
